I'm Melanie, but my friends call me Mel! An athlete turned artist from the dry desert of west Texas with a love for traveling & documenting life's most joy-filled moments. My heart is inspired by authentic connections & love-filled marriages. I believe life is worth celebrating and your fleeting moments can be relived through the tangible touch of a photograph.
MY HEART IS INSPIRED BY
authentic connections & love-filled marriages
with 10+ years of experience photographing weddings, families, & business owners – you can trust me to naturally pose & direct you.
I have experience in managing large groups while creating authentic interactions to document your most joy-filled moments.
My style is effortless, empowering & authentic.
y journey with photography began when I decided to follow a family legacy by becoming a Texas Tech Red Raider, instead of playing college basketball.
My aim is to seamlessly capture those candid, joy-filled moments as well as giving individual attention to each intricate detail you planned for your special day. I promise to make your grandmother feel loved during family photos & your bridesmaids laugh throughout the day, while serving you & your new husband with love & respect.

he magic of the golden-hour glow: when that last bit of soft golden-light delicately hits you as you dance with your beloved. There is a beautiful energy and deep-rooted joy we all feel in these moments, that continue to be the driving force that inspires me on this journey I get to call my life's work.
With a style that's part editorial and part photo-journalistic, I'll walk you through poses while capturing moments as they organically unfold. My goal is to help you feel empowered, confident and seen.
y perfectionistic tendencies emerge when I sit down to edit your session. This is when I joyfully and meticulously choose your the best images and turn them into works of art. I take pride in making sure every image I deliver is print-ready and my detail-orientation certifies that nothing in the frame distracts from the moment.
I'm enraptured by the beautiful timelessness of black & white photos. They simply stand the test of time.
